Very sorry for your loss. And thank for the reminder to love on our loved ones while we can because we don't know when our time will come. I believe the Lord has numbered our days but we have no guarantee of tomorrow. Your wife has reached her eternal home and in that place there is joy and happiness that we cannot imagine. That doesn't remove the grief but it does give us a hope.

I can’t imagine Bob.
I’ll lift all involved in prayer.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss Bob. My condolences to you and the family.

This might not sound good, but at least she didn't suffer like my dad and mom did with cancer. God needed her and didn't want her to suffer. She'll be looking down on you with kind words, and with love. God bless her and you.

I'm sitting in living room where we use to watch old movies at night. I'm just totally lost,weepy
so alone, just need to talk ,we basically have no family. We were childless not by choice. Have a few close friends. All the SD parts, cars do not mean a thing right now.

Prayers sent for you Bob.I have lost my parents and all four brothers and my wife has lost her parents and only brother. All I have left is a son by my first marriage. Just remember, we never lose the ones we love, they walk beside us every day.

I don’t know you bob but you sound like a good and decent man .I’m sure you did what you felt was best. That’s about all one can do. Hopefully this family here ( Pontiac family )can help you through.

I know the rest of life won’t seem as I important, but I have to believe you will find enjoyment in things again. I personally will be thinking of you and so will others that you won’t even know are.... I can’t even imagine how hard this is for you and I feel for you.
God bless you, don’t be afraid to reach out to people. Myself included.

Bob, I certainly don’t have all the answers
Those items may not seem like anything right now . But maybe there is a reason why you mentioned them.
Maybe your subconscious is trying to reason out what value they have to you just as you stated.... well take the time to answer your question. Only you know the true answer to that, but I’d think that those parts , those cars may be what helps you heal. What helps you connect with people in the future, what gives you a purpose.

Maybe it’s a gift, a blessing to have those cars and parts. After all there’s a whole community of people here that many wouldn’t have .

Bob, I don't know you from Adam nor you, me - but that doesn't change my thoughts on reading your posts in this thread (I only just came across this discussion).

My heart goes out to you.

I will pray for you, that you might find a peace that surpasses understanding, and that you are able to focus on the wonderful memories that you have with your wife.

Please try to not be alone too much right now, call your friends, call her friends...

Bob, so sorry for you. From my experience, time may not exactly heal, as they say, but time, eventually, will indeed help. Be strong brother.
